What is the difference between fluids and solids?
Fluids can flow and take the shape of their container, while solids have a fixed shape and volume. The particles in fluids are not tightly packed and can move past each other, whereas the particles in solids are closely packed and vibrate in place. Examples of fluids include water and air, while examples of solids include wood and metal.
Why are both liquids and solids called fluids?
Fluids are neither solids nor liquids. Fluids are a form between solids and liquids. Fluids donot exhibit a fixed shape like solids do and also are not free flowing as liquids are. Fluids, while maintaining their total volume can flow freely upto a certain extent. Though not very accurate, a fluid behaves some what like ketchup :)
Why are both liquids and gases called fluids?
Both liquids and gases are called fluids because they can flow and change shape easily, taking the shape of their container. They exhibit fluidity in their behavior, which distinguishes them from solid materials.
What are the two forms in which sound can travel?
Sound can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. In solids, sound travels through vibrations of particles, while in fluids (liquids and gases), sound travels through compressions and rarefactions of the medium.
Can heat transfer by convection happen in a solid?
No, heat transfer by convection requires the movement of fluids to transfer heat. Since solids do not have the ability to flow like fluids, heat transfer by convection does not typically occur in solids. Heat transfer in solids usually occurs through conduction, where heat is transferred through the vibration of particles.
What is the process to separate solids and fluids called?
One way to separate solids and fluids is through filtration. Pour the mixture through a filter and the solids will be trapped in the filter.

What is a medium sound can travel through?
Fluids and solids

What is the medical term meaning Solids and fluids return to the mouth from the stomach?
Regurgitation or vomiting is the return of solids and fluids from the stomach back to the mouth.
What has the author Reginald Cyril Stanley written?
Reginald Cyril Stanley has written: 'Mechanical properties of solids andfluids' -- subject(s): Analytic Mechanics 'Mechanical properties of solids and fluids' -- subject(s): Fluids, Materials, Solids
How does heat flow in solids and fluids?
Either by conduction or convection?
What can people do to create sounds?
Anything that creates vibrations in solids and fluids.
What are examples of non fluids?
Some examples of non-fluids are solids (such as ice, wood, and metal) and gases (such as air, oxygen, and carbon dioxide). These substances do not flow and have definite shapes or volumes.
Why does transfer of heat not take place in fluids?
Wrong, transfer of heat does take place in fluids. In fact it can take place more efficiently in fluids than in solids because convection is possible in fluids.
Why are both liquids and gases called fluids?
Both liquids and gases are called fluids because they can flow and change shape easily, taking the shape of their container. They exhibit fluidity in their behavior, which distinguishes them from solid materials.
What can we measure using litres?
Any fluid. Fluids are anything other than solids.
